Millions of Corbscrews Twisted Into Thous-

New York Mail and Express.
There seems to be nothing to say about
q corkscrew. There are millions Of cork
screws made each year. 1t isn't generally
known that the corkscrew IS made in
largest quantities in Newark, n. ].
There is one firm in Newark that beats
the world at making and selling cork
screws. G. T. Williamson, who belongs
to the firm, says that, in round numbers,
there must be 100000 corkscrews
made by this one Newark firm last year,
or COrkscrews enough for nearly every
voter on the globe, If the corkscrews,
which average three inches il length.
that were made during the year 1885
could have been laid length to length,
they would have reached from New York
to San Francisco and then spanned
the broad Pacific and touched the shores
of Japan. If all these screws could
have been melted into one big screw,
some Colossus could have pulled the cork
from the surface of the esrth and set the
geysers spouting and thevolcanoes erupt-
Ing from the interior of the globe. To
make the 100000 required seventy
five men, simply for the twisting OF
screws, to say nothing Of the making of
handles.
One would hardly think that more than
three or four varieties were required,
but there are about forty on the market.
They include the ring handle, steel wire
screws for demijohns and large bottles;
the double ring, handily encased pocket
screw; the folding screw and the broad
wire handle screw. Some time ago
an ice pick and cigar bcx opener was
made with screw concealed in the steel
tube handle. The tube can be slipped of
and the ice pick forms the handle of the
screw. Another novelty has brush in

disgrace to the state, and its evil effects
will be felt for years to come. Indiana
will take place of Ohio as synonym for
all that is corrupt and criminal in politics
The Republican politicians are RESPONSE
BILE for the present condition of affairs,
and they are apparently proud of the
part they have played in bringing the
State into disrepute. When the Democ-
rats had carried the Legislature, these
scheming managers deliberately set to
work to steal the senatorship, in spite of
the returns. The Democrats, on the
contrary, have pursued from the first a
course that merits the approval of the
friends of law and order everywhere.
The Republicans unseated Meagher, a
man honestly and fairly elected, and put
in his place Dickerson, who had been
spurned by the people. There was
nothing in the law nor the facts to Justify
the unseating of Meagher, and the Re-
publicans knew it. But 1t had to be done
in order t.. carry out their programme.
The Democrats have now exercised
their power in the expulsion of McDon
aid. In doing 30 they have followed the
